              current US administration

              The US mid-terms are coming in less than two years, the "current administration" (Republicans) will be out of power if they lose three of their 220 seats. Last time DT was president, the midterms gave the Democrats 41 House of Representatives seats, you do the maths. And DT is even more unpopular this time than at the equivalent time during his previous term.

              we have $17 billion trade deficit with them

              The US has a 1.1 trillion (US) dollar deficit. That's 1.75 trillion AUD, just over 100 times larger than the Australian deficit with them. So from the US point of view, we really are a mosquito. And the US has a national debt of 36 trillion USD which they want to reduce, so on that scale we're not even 0.1%.

              keep getting bullied or push back

              Famous quote: "Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it." DT wants the fight, you'd be giving him what he wants. And he can cause us far more pain than we can cause him, so your recommended path is self-destructive.

              • @Russ: I totally disagree. US mid-terms are hypotheticals and effect of tariffs, in the meantime on Australian exports and jobs could be lasting.

                Australia is not the cause of their USD 1.1 trillion trade deficit, so stop making it Australia's fault.

                • @dealhunter52:

                  stop making it Australia's fault.

                  At no point did I say it was Australia's fault. I just pointed out that from their point of view, we're only a very tiny part of their debt/deficit problem, and they won't bother with listening to us.

                  effect of tariffs, in the meantime on Australian exports and jobs could be lasting.

                  I don't disagree with you there, but "pushing back" on the US is much more likely to make that effect worse than to make it better. As I said, DT wants a fight.

      We banned USA beef import over 20 years ago. What did you expect?

      • +16

        Beef was banned due to mad cow disease in their beef.

        We have a $17 billion trade deficit with US. This is total BS argument. Can't believe people here are defending US interests rather than interest of Australian farmers.

        • -1

          Doing some more research I learned we actually do import beef from the USA. But that is strictly cattle raised in the USA only. I’m not defending USA, just weird how people are saying it’s just for no reason. Now that I’m a little more informed, it’s a shit reason and we are getting the worse end of the stick but it’s not like there was absolutely not basis for it.

          • +5

            @zubzub: You're missing the point here. US has slapped 10% tariffs on all Australian goods, not just beef.

    • -1

      Do you approve Australia killing the US’ exports to Australia? If Australia blanket bans import of US Beef to protect Australian industry, it’s only fair the US puts a tariff on Aus Beef to protest their beef industry, no?

      • +3

        `10% on all Australian goods, not just Beef, and just because Beef farmers don't want cattle infected? I presume we are still not allowed to export authentic Ugg Boots to the USA since a copycat trademarked the name? Beef farmers have a better argument for keeping diseases out of the country than the US keeping out authentic Uggs. And then there is the US dumping cash on their dairy farmers, that surely makes it harder to export dairy to the US. That is another US trade barrier.

        We can argue over peanuts, but the big picture is that the "U.S. goods exports to Australia in 2024 were $34.6 billion… U.S. goods imports from Australia totaled $16.7 billion in 2024". Australia buys more than twice from the US than it sells. By Trump "logic" Australia needs to defend its balance of trade by slugging the US with 50%-100% tariff, in addition to keeping out insane US bovines. Of course, in the real world Trump is doing much more harm to the US than he is to Oz.

      This probably one of the funniest comments I've ever seen. The guy who is the CEO of 6 companies currently somehow has time to weed out corruption in the US while having absolutely no considerations for any conflicts of interest. He literally did an ad with the president for tesla the other day. Open your eyes man.

      • +2

        The guy who is the CEO of 6 companies currently somehow has time to weed out corruption

        Delegation. And, exactly my point, where CEOs would rather maintain status quo and prop politicians, we actually have one here doing all these even though everyone could tell it would damage his PR and companies' PRs severely.

        Also, you didn't bother responding to my point. Why is it that despite people calling for examinations onto the corruption of Dep of Health, Education, Defense, and so on, that it's only happening with this administration. Heck, no one expected cuts to Dept of Defense, especially for the US of A, but here we are. Have you ever had another administration like this?

        • No it's you who missed my counterpoint. You can't use someone who is corrupt to weed out corruption. Your point about department of defence cuts is laughable. The $80m they think they found represents 0.009% of the defence budget. It's pathetic. It's not even a rounding error.

          • +1

            @Trentgibbo3: No, there are two figures. DOGE saves of 80m only for the Pentagon, and the actual cut planned by Trump's admin team of about 500m to the department of defense. But even then, has any other administration ever done it to this extent? That's my point, and your counterpoint doesn't hold up. It's either you do get savings or you don't. I don't recall anyone from Clinton to Bush to Obama to Biden or even further back, ever doing something to this level.

            Also, all of them are corrupt, this means you can't use anyone? Furthering my point that this is out of the ordinary, and that Occupy Wall Street may actually be a thing now, given how they want Wall Street to crash and now it is. There's a saying that you can't fight Wall Street and that Wall Street always wins, but who knows now?

    If anyone actually wants this deal, look at Telstra
    https://www.telstra.com.au/internet/starlink

    They seem to be offering the $200 discount, free delivery even in a few "congested" postcodes.

    • +3

      Telstra Starlink is 50Mbps down and 10Mbps up. Much worse than the 300Mbps down available directly with Starlink (on average) plus about 20Mbps upload (on average).

      Plus, Telstra require you to use their Telstra Box with 4G Backup and it is so much works than the Starlink Router directly. I had a customer who had constant drop outs with the Telstra Box, and the Starlink Router had heaps better coverage. Starlink Router is also WiFi 6, not sure the Telstra Box is.

      So whilst Telstra might seem good for $125 a month, for an extra $15 you can get much better speeds and not use Telstras crappy box.

  • So how much after the 12 months lapsed?

    • +3

      $1702 for me as 12 months x $139 and a $34 shipping and handling fee. That's just under $142 a month. I understand this is great for people in areas without any NBN coverage or completely crap/unreliable NBN coverage, but I can't see any value in this unless you MUST have high speed and most people don't need that. It's got higher latency than FTTN and it will drop out more often than most FTTN connections. I'll even say most FW connections are probably better, definitely a lot more shit FW around the place but I've been on FW before and had no issues, but I can see more value in Starlink for FW users than anyone on FTTN or better. Yes, I understand some people have shit NBN/no NBN but if anyone is on 50/20 and has no problems then I can't see the point. Most 50/20 deals are around $75ish a month, so an extra $65 for speed that majority of users won't use. Again, good if people need the speed or live without good/any NBN coverage.

      • +3

        Starlink beats FW, and most FTTN all day long. Definitely not a replacement for any other Nbn type.

        • No, it doesn't sorry, especially FTTN. Starlink has higher latency and will drop out more often. If speed is what you want then yes of course starlink is better, however, in all other areas it is not better than FTTN and I would say FW for most people on a reliable connection.

          • +2

            @tessel: Have you used all three technologies?
            Nbn Fw is often congested. Fttn drops out in rain (often)

              @jjsnacks: If your FTTN drops out in the rain there's probably water getting into a pit somewhere and a fault should be lodged.

In almost 12 months with Starlink, I haven't had a single outage that I've noticed, and get speeds of 150-400 Mb down, and 20-25 up. The latency, can't say I've noticed as I'm not a gamer.

        Reliablity - A hell of a lot more reliable than NBN! I have Starlink as a failover and my primary internet can randomly drop out for 5 mins, Starlink kicks in and I don't even know its switched! Speeds and performance is just as good!

        • +1

            @PainToad: Why does that matter if Starlink is more reliable / faster than whatever product they happen to have?

            My in-laws live in metro Brisbane but NBN (via HFC) seems to wobble & fall over during any rainfall over 10mm or so. It's been going on for years. NBNCo cannot or will not rectify the issue. Hence, he went to Starlink and hasn't looked back.

              @Captain Yobbo:

              Why does that matter if Starlink is more reliable / faster than whatever product they happen to have?

              Because it spreads the misconception that “NBN” is bad when it’s actually certain type of NBN are bad.

              This allows ignorant boomers to think Skylink is better than all types of NBN and you end up with the Liberal party pushing for Skylink instead of upgrading peoples’ NBN connections to FTTP.

              • +1

                @PainToad: when Starlink is the only viable alternative to subpar NBN (which a lot but not a majority of consumers experience) how is that a misconception?

            I am not on the NBN at all. I am on a 60Ghz Private Fixed Wireless provider giving me 400/400 for the same price as a NBN 100/20 Service. I had FTTN when I moved in, it was bad with drop outs and poor speeds. I am eligible for the FTTP upgrade, but I am not bothering. It would cost me more for the NBN service to have a similar speed for upload and then subject to their outages and additional crap.

            But most people are on FTTN and not eligible for the upgrade and/or have done it but still get poor performance (usually due to house wiring).

              have done it but still get poor performance (usually due to house wiring).

              Bad internal wiring effecting NBN speeds is due to old copper telephone wiring in the house. Those aren’t used once upgraded to FTTP.

                      If the tariffs are successful in returning manufacturing to America - which is their stated goal - then yes, I agree they'll go away. In their place will be an America that imports significantly less from the rest of the world, and spends significantly less in the rest of the world.

                      Unfortunately you are in the rest of the world category !!!!!!

                      I say again, good grief.

                        @Nom: Ok fair point, I get it. Probably not good for us in the long term. But maybe we should take a page from that book. Look at all the terrible stuff we do with our natural resources. We sell it for peanuts. Why don’t we try putting Australia first.

                          @zubzub: Because we suck up to China, the highest tariffing country in the world by far. But we get put in the naught corner if we dare say a word. Don’t mention Covid…

                          • @opilot87: yes, remember when morrison had the temerity to suggest that there should be an investigation to the covid origins? china slapped a massive tariff on our wine and barley for months. covid was never mentioned again or since.

      I don’t watch TV, but I can spot a Sieg Heil salute when I see one.

      So yes, he is a bad person.

      • Haha no, you can spot one when someone tells you you should spot one. Legit people who know what they are talking about who understand and have history with the nazi’s, say it wasn’t. But believe what you want to believe
